Description

<p>PLUS Coalition co-founder and CEO Jeff Sedlik filed suit against LA Ink star Kat Von D for infringing his copyright by using his 1989 Miles Davis portrait in a tattoo that she used to promote her businesses. Some have compared the case to Richard Prince and called it fair use. Others have said it resembles the AP&apos;s lawsuit against Shepard Fairey for his Obama &quot;HOPE&quot; poster. But the devil is in the details, and Sedlik registered his copyright.<br/><br/>Also: a lawyer buys a building and finds a trove of photos in a hidden attic, including a portrait of Susan B. Anthony,  the New Yorker reviews Seiichi Furuya&apos;s latest book Face to Face, and Alec Soth vlogs about William Eggleston&apos;s &quot;Democratic Forest.&quot;</p>
